Crystal Palace or Chef Mickey's

[friendoffigment]

Any thoughts on which you would recommend. 2 adults with grandchildren 6 & 10

They are both great with kids. I find Crystal Palace to be less hectic and noisy. Also, it's pretty easy to meet Mickey and Minnie in other places, but the Pooh characters are harder to find.

We’ve done both over the years and we prefer Crystal Palace (I suspect the kiddos would be happy at either one ). Chef Mickey’s seems to be a little more boisterous and it is fairly loud (the CR atrium design probably contributes to that). We prefer lunch rather than breakfast and I don’t think (?) that is available at Chef Mickey’s.

I always look at character meals as time-savers. Sure, they cost you a pretty penny, but if you factor in a 30 minute wait-line for every character that comes to your table, you are saving time, and at Disney, time IS money. I'd pick whichever meal has the most character-appeal for the kids, so you don't have to wait in multiple, in-park (long, hot) lines for those autographs and pics!
